RUMOR has it, that the Forest City State Bank, one of the oldest and most
conservative institutions in the country, is hard pressed for cash. The news
spreads like wildfire and a run is imminent. Money has been wired for but
the question of the moment is to quiet the frantic crowd until it arrives. Mr. Church,
the president, faces ruin and disgrace if the run starts. Quite by chance, young
Dick Thatcher, the cashier, and Dorothy Church, his fiance, hit upon a novel idea
to quell the panic. They secure a ferocious live lion and his tamer from the circus
which is in town, and when the doors of the bank are thrown open, the surging
crowds forget all about their deposited money in one wild
effort to get as far away from the bank as possible.
The ensemble in this delightful comedy was composed of
members of the Motion Picture Exhibitors' League of Illinois.
Over two hundred of them acted in this unique production.
